How Many Connections Separate You From Anyone?

Change the size of a locally generated network, connections per node, and overlap between two communities. Watch edges appear and inspect the shortest path between two fictional nodes. Reshuffle links to explore another graph. The diagram demonstrates how bridge connections can change paths; it does not represent actual people, Omnitwine members, or empirical estimates of how many introductions separate two people. A deterministic local graph generator creates two connected communities and adds a number of cross-community bridges controlled by the overlap setting. Breadth-first search identifies the shortest path. This is a fictional graph simulation and should not be interpreted as data about real people, relationships, or network reach. Scoring and simulation rules are bundled with the site.

This is a generated graph of fictional nodes, not a map of real people or relationships.
